Nano Zinc Oxide

Biopolymers with universal accessibility and inherent biodegradability can offer an appealing sustainable platform to supersede petroleum-based polymers. In this research, a hybrid system derived from cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was added into poly (lactic acid) (PLA) to improve its mechanical, thermal, and flame resistance properties. The ZnO-overlaid CNCs were prepared via the solvent casting method and added to PLA through the melt-blending extrusion process. The composite properties were evaluated using SEM, a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), FTIR TGA, and horizontal burning tests. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of 1.5% nano-CNC-overlaid ZnO nanoparticles into PLA enhanced the mechanical and thermal characteristics and the flame resistance of the PLA matrix. Oxidative combustion of CNC-ZnO promoted char formation and flame reduction. The shielding effect from the ZnO-CNC blend served as an insulator and resulted in noncontinuous burning, which increased the fire retardancy of nanocomposites. By contrast, the addition of ZnO into PLA accelerated the polymer degradation at higher temperature and shifted the maximum degradation to lower temperature in comparison with pure PLA. For PLA composites reinforced by ZnO, the storage modulus decreased with ZnO content possibly due to the scissoring effect of ZnO in the PLA matrix, which resulted in lower molecular weight.

Basic Strength

The use of metal oxides in heterogeneous base catalysis has gained a large interest due to their application in many chemical and industrial processes and is environmental friendly. Basic metal oxides are commonly used and their structures, morphology and performance can be modified by method of preparation and thermal activation. In this study, surface modified amphoteric zinc oxide was prepared via hydration-dehydration method and characterised by TGA and FTIR. The basic strength at various temperatures is characterised by FTIR and back titration analyses. The results shows that surface modified zinc oxide has the highest basic strength of 1.453mmolg-1at 400°C making it a relatively good and suitable compound for use in heterogeneous basic catalysis. This result is also supported by FTIR spectra which show possible relationship between the Lewis O2-and increasing basic strength.

The copolymer of sodium polyacrylic acid and 2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) was prepared by radical polymerization process, the effect of mass ratio of AA/AMPS on the viscosity of AA-AMPS copolymer were investigated. Results showed that when the mole ratio of AA/AMPS was 3:1, it had the least viscosity. The dispersion stability of synthesized AA-AMPS copolymer for nanozinc oxide was tested.
